RE: Fwd:

Hi All,

 

I support this as it is backed by those with experience internally (Mr Yuen) and externally, Ganofarm. However, we should identify the initial objectives and start small to ensure we set good foundation. It would be great if we could turn this into an outreach program to benefit more people in the surrounding. Below is the link to Ganofarm for those who might want to look at it.

Thanks

 

Best Regards

Dear All,

 

Please take note that I did not in anyway object to Mr Yuen Swee Lim being given accommodation in PLS and neither did I object to the Herbal Farm project. My concern was the  involvement of the children, who are not too many in numbers at present. However with Mr Yuen staying-in I am sure he won't let it fail like some other projects in the past. 

With best regards

Dear Members of the Committee of Management,

With reference to the email from Mr Nadarajah Chelliah, I consider it somewhat irrelevant to the need of our organization.  We are running short of the right personnel with dedication and commitment. 

 With the attachments given at the MC held on 21 September 2013, was one application by Mr Yuen Swee Lim, a past ward of our organization, who later retired as a teacher in a national school and who had applied to stay-in and give his best to the organization.  He has produced 2 books on Malaysian medicinal plants and has had the experience in having a successful herbal garden, an aviary in Mantin where many schools had spotted this project worthy of inclusion in educational excursions.

 Committee members of the past may recall the beautiful paradise of vegetable, passion fruit and other fruit trees grown by our boys and girls of the 70's, during the Green Book Plan,  who are now doing very well in their careers.  Unfortunately, this was not encouraged by the later administrators and now with agriculture coming up as one of the top industries in Malaysia; it is time that we encourage this amongst the slow learners as a wage-earning project.

 I have already spoke of this to Dato' S Kulasegaran, the Vice-President, who is with me on this idea.

 This project need not necessarily engage all our children but also be opened up to select individuals outside the organization as part of our outreach community programme.

 Mushroom cultivation is already in action on a mini scale, just outside my residence.  It doesn't require much effort for the time-being as the scones with spores are supplied by Madam Cheng, the proprietor of the Ganofarm in Tanjung Sepat.  This is also backed up by Prof Vickneswary, who is doing a research on the different types of mushrooms and their usefulness to health.

 Enclosed are some photographs of the scones and mushrooms.

 I wish to get your support and backing for Mr Lim to stay in.  He is a confirmed bachelor whose interests are in herbal cultivation and the like.
